In this episode I go over the basic single-digit counting from 1 to 10, then I explain how to count in multiples of 10.
Finally, I combine the two to show you how to count from 1 to 100.

This episode ends with a series of exercises involving me reading out a random number then giving you the answer a couple of seconds later. I do this for the first ten numbers, then for multiples of 10, and finally for twenty random numbers between 1 and 100.

If anyone wants to make any criticisms, please feel free to do so!
